That’s something the defense can hang their hat on. We’re trying to establish our character and our identity. This was a great game, especially for our defense.

It was a gutsy call. Somebody’s got to get through.

They came out and pretty much had their way with us offensively.

I felt like it was going to take a lot to make me not go to Chicago, and I wanted to be as well- informed as possible.

It?s one of the best feelings in football, … It?s great when you hear the fans and you know you just made a big play. It?s an unbelievable feeling.
